Tires wearing super fast...Help!!

Raise the car off the ground and start moving the wheels back and forth. Look for any serious deflection in the bushings or steering joints, as well as the wheel bearings. There isn't much that will cause excessive tire wear on the Z.

Side note: You can have a good alignment on a rack, but still have bad suspension/steering components.

There are multiple things in the front or rear that can cause what you are experiencing. I just generalized everything under suspension/steering components. You have bushings, ball joints, and wheel bearings that can all cause these issues.

I highly doubt it. You might also want to have a separate shop check your alignment to make sure it's not the machine it was aligned on the first two times.

Okay, alignment was done at different shops which is good.
